Scouts to hold homecoming in Clark

CLARK FREEPORT — At least 33 members from the seven chapters of the
Philippine Scouts Heritage Society (PSHS) based in United States will join the homecoming activities inside this Freeport on April 7 and 8.
Albert Labrador, PSHS spokesperson, said aside from the seven chapters in the US, some 60 local members in the country will also join the PSHS reunion.
The PS “Living History” Company will host the event in cooperation with
Clark Development Corporation–Tourism and Promotion Office.
The event will also be assisted by Peregrine Development Int’l Inc., VFW Post 2485 A.C, 600th ABW–PAF, Arts Culture Tourism Office of Pampanga,
Clark Riding Stable Inc. Wind Tunnel International, Fontana Leisure Parks, DNS Clark, Military Vehicle Collectors Club ofthe Philippines, and Dominic Aquino.
“This will be the very first time the PSHS will have its reunion in
Philippine soil and in the home Fort of the Scouts at Fort Stotsenburg
Hotel,” Labrador said.
Labrador said the Philippine Scouts was authorized by the US Congress on Feb 2, 1901 enlisting 6,000 Filipinos for service in the US Army.
In April 10, 1922, the Philippine Division was organized and the carabao insigna with the red and yellow colors of Spain was adopted on July 8, 1922.
By the outbreak of the World War II, the Scouts increased to 12,000 from a prewar strength of 7,000 and became the US front line troops in the Pacific during the WWII.
Filipinos considered selection to the Philippine Scouts a great honor and although many scouts were the sons of Gen. Emilio Aguinaldo soldiers, they were intensely loyal to US, deeply proud of their regiment.
The Philippine Scouts were official integrated into the regular US Army in 1923. The scouts were famous for their soldierly qualities.
The Philippine Scouts were trained and disciplined as any soldier in history. They were elite, highly spirited and well-known throughout the Army for their love of soldiering and superb marksmanship with both pistol and rifle.
Labrador said registration will be held on April 7, where some of the veterans like Felipe Fernandez and Dan Figuracio will share first-hand accounts. There will also be showing of the documentary film “Forgotten Soldiers,” remembering the soldiers interred at the Clark Cemetery, and presentation of Japanese Perspective on the Philippine Defense Campaign in 1941-42.
At 10:30 a.m. to 12 noon on April 8, there will be wreath-laying at the Clark Veterans Cemetery. At 4 p.m., a Battle Re-enactment at the Parade Ground in front of the Clark Museum will be held, Labrador said. (Reynaldo G. Navales)
